Translation: "I know it's going to be Rohl but I can only allude to it at the moment"

Indeed. Spors is on record as wanting "high intensity" gegenpress style football which, one would've thought, rules Cooper out.

As the world's only solipsist, leave it with me and I'll see what I can do...

A bit like being allowed to splash out on a Porsche with no steering wheel... (There's every chance I might get good at this analogy malarkey one of these days... )

Yeah, but it's coz they is not being played in their best positions, innit...

Organisations or individuals that add "to those who celebrate" when wishing people "Happy <insert religious festival>" Twats.

But I thought we were told that these players were so poor that there wasn't a manager on the planet who could get more out of them than Martin or Juric could...?

What's your point?

Not much else to do in this padded cell to be honest. Alas, they didn't let me bring my Chris de Burgh record collection in with me 😥

My intention on here has always been to post random meaningless nonsense, rather than making a coherent point. To be fair though, most people seem to do the same without seemingly realising it...

They're 3 points behind 14th. If that makes Potter woeful, does it follow that he'd be magnificent if they were 3 points above 14th, given how much significance you're placing on a mere 3 points...?

Anyone fancy starting a thread to cover transfer news?

Assume this is the match where JWP finally gets the free-kick goals record...? #inevitable P.s. will this be the first time he's played against us since leaving?

My (semi-serious) underlying point is that we'll merrily spend money willy nilly on dross players yet, seemingly, baulk at the notion of splashing the cash on a decent manager....

Ha... Fair point 😁

So, thinking out loud.... We get a championship specialist in for next season then get Koeman in for the following season after the world cup...?

So, hypothetically, if someone offered him £100m to become their manager, he'd turn it down? #exagerationtoillustrateapoint

Two daft questions: 1) how much money would it take to entice Koeman back to Saints? 2) what's stopping us offering him this amount of money? We'll happily spaff c.£20m on mediocre players... Would it cost that much to bring back our (arguably) best manager this century? #nobrainer

I'm still patiently waiting for his signing-on photoshoot...

Trousers nailed it yet again 😁

I'd be happy with Cooper but he doesn't match the type of manager that Spors is on record as wanting, does he? Spors wants to play a "very high intensity" style of football... Cooper's approach is more conservative than that, I think?

Dibling on for Tall Paul

Yep, agree. If we'd played as dull as this all season we'd have picked up several more points....

At the game. Rusk obviously playing for a clean sheet, hence the bore fest. Villa players acting like tossers, aided and abetted by an inept ref. Fernandes challenge never a foul let alone a yellow card. Archer a waste of space.

Ah...!
